Review of This Is Why We Lied: A Will Trent Thriller by Karin Slaughter

Review of By Any Other Name: A Novel by Jodi Picoult
Jodi Picoult, a renowned author known for her thought-provoking narratives and complex characters, returns with By Any Other Name: A Novel. This novel is also typical for Picoult as she constructs a story which explores multiple aspects of human interactions, personality, and the internal worlds people live in. Foreign yet familiar, romantic yet bitter to the core of the Western culture, the novel with apparent themes of love and loss poses some tough question that the Western audiences are often reluctant to face.

desperate man
No one understands As a man, but when alone, I still feel sorry for myself, still remember the person I love the most, until I can no longer hide my feelings and cry alone, with no one beside me to share my feelings and feelings, hurting myself until I am exhausted and have no strength left, and just like that, I wither and age over time, then close myself in a narrow space with only 4 walls, with no one beside me, listening, to be able to confide and express the thoughts that have been hidden in my heart, I can only bear it myself and carry those thoughts with me, drifting along with the years until I can no longer bear it, I can only carry my thoughts and feelings to the bottom of the deep grave of my endless life.
